Microsoft Visual Studio

Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. It is used to develop computer programs for Microsoft Windows, as well as web sites, web applications and web services. Visual Studio uses Microsoft software development platforms such as Windows API, Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Store and Microsoft Silverlight. It can produce both native code and managed code.

I expect to be working in Visual Studio on a project which will involve Angular, Kendo UI and jQuery. So I need to set up a simple Visual Studio test environment where I can play around with some of the more complex jQuery commands.

What is the best way to do this in Visual Studio? I feel like I need a solution with an HTML file and a folder that contains jQuery. But feel free to suggest a few steps that can get me to that point.

And please include the steps to get jQuery installed. I assume that is just a NuGet call. But what about other dependencies?

I have a new server that has sql 2017, ssrs 2017 installed and ssdt installed. I think i goofed something up. When using ssdt with Visual Studio, there are no projects available to start for Reporting Services. I have a feeling i goofed up on the the install.

I am installing this BEFORE I install Visual Studio Professional 2017 so that the Visual Studio installer will not try and install SQL Server for me. But I want to be sure I install SQL Server exactly correctly.

What questions will the installer ask me which might require me to change the default settings?

I would like to be armed with all the answers before I start the installation. My worry is that I may need to make an error and then need to uninstall SQL Server, which is not a good place to be.

I need to install Visual Studio Professional 2017 but want to be sure I get the settings correct. I have had bac luck in the past letting Visual Studio install my instance of SQL Server, and found it better to FIRST install SQL Server, THEN install Visual Studio.

So, my questions are where can I get the URL's for

Visual Studio Professional 2017
SQL Server 2016

I plan to install them and use them for free until I get license keys in the next few weeks.

I have 2015 but need to upgrade. I want to start testing some newer features of the .NET Framework, and perhaps play around with .NET Core as well as to use the .NET Standard 2.0.

What is the right version for me to install?

Can I leave Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 installed?

What about SQL Server? I have found if SQL Server is already installed, the Visual Studio installer will not try and install it. And I found that the Visual Studio installer does not do a great job of installing SQL Server.

I see I have SQL Server 2008 and 2014 installed.

Shall I install an updated version of SQL Server, then install the Visual Studio Community Edition?

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 with C#.
I want a user to input some letters into a textbox. A model maps each letter to a number and returns the total. how can I display the result (Total variable in the model) in a text area in the same view?

I'm using C# in Visual Studio 2017. I came across this page outlining the performance of different data structures.http://bigocheatsheet.com/#data-structures
Is there an article giving use cases for each structure? At the moment I'm just interested in common structures like arrays, lists, dictionaries, stacks and queues.Apart from inserting, updating, deleting and viewing records, what criteria are used when evaluating different data structures for a given project?

I saw this online which partially answers my question. If space is not an issue when would I use a list as opposed to a dictionary?When should I use something non standard like binary trees?

The SortedDictionary<TKey, TValue> generic class is a binary search tree with O(log n) retrieval, where n is the number of elements in the dictionary. In this respect, it is similar to the SortedList<TKey, TValue> generic class. The two classes have similar object models, and both have O(log n) retrieval. Where the two classes differ is in memory use and speed of insertion and removal:

It’s one of the most in-demand fields in technology and in the job market as a whole. It’s crucial to our individual and national security. And it may be your path to a future filled with success and job satisfaction—if these four traits sound like you.

Directory.Exists(C# DotNet) returns true, but actually, the path is not existing in explorer windows. However, when I type in the unc or change directory using DOS command the directory appears. Although "Directory.Exists" find the directory, it does not copy the directory. It only copies folders and files shown in explorer. I assume these folders\files were deleted but somehow is being seen by "Directory.Exists". How can I get "Directory.Exists" to ignore these folders\files? Also, if these are not deleted files, please explain why they are not shown in explorer. If they are deleted files that still exist on my computer, will they cause performance issues with the filesystem? Could this cause a directory search to take longer?

I have created a Integration Services app in Visual Studio 2013 that runs on SQL Server under the Integration Services Catalogs.

Its package reads some data with a stored procedure and writes out a flat file - txt.

In order to have access to the server and folder where that output file will go, in the Control Flow section I have added an "Execute Process Task" control.
These are the entries I have for the "Process" for that control:

I have this package Deployed on the Development server and I can right-click on the package and it runs fine.

However, when I Deploy it to the Production server and then right-click to execute it, I get this error:

In Excecuting "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" "/C NET USE\\MyServerName\Shared\Download MyPassword /USER:MyUser/PERSISTENT:NO" at "C:\Windows\System32", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0"

I believe Error Code 2 = The system cannot find the file specified. I have checked on the Production Server and indeed there is a cmd.exe at location "C:\Windows\System32".

Any ideas what could be different on the Production server that would cause this error?

I'm trying to start a new visual studio 2017 C# project and have selected it to be an MVC project with the web API checkbox checked. I've also checked the add unit test checkbox and changed the authentication to single user. After I click OK I'm getting this message.

the specified path file name or both are too long. the fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. The fully qualified file name is D:\OneDrive\Documents\Courses\QAASPNETMVC\Labs\04 DataStorage\01 Setup Projects\Begin\QAForumSolution which is 103 characters.
Why am I getting this message?

How do you create a sidebar menu in visual studio blend? I am wanting to create a tool that slides out on my windows screen that is specific to the tools I use to do my job. I want to be able to customize this for my use and share with other members of my team. Something similar to windows Sidebar tool but with slide outs, etc.. I am using windows 7 professional and we also have Windows 10 Os.

I am having problems with an old Visual Studio 2010 Webforms site that uses forms authentication and works well when published to production server. The problem is now I have moved up to Visual Studio 2017 and having an issue of casting WindowsIndentity object to another custom class. It used to work in 2010 but does not work in 2017 when debugging. Tried to change the code and now the problem is that when starting to debug the site, some browsers are not prompting for a login and using NTLM and I need it to force forms authentication. I have it set to forms in the web.config file. Some day we will rewrite the site but stuck with old system for now.

Why would something that worked in VS 2010 not work the same in VS 2017? Site is ASP.NET 4.0.

When I try to compile my VB.net project I get error messages telling me that the access path is denied(See the error message at the bottom of this post). To temporarily fix this, I run the following command:
icacls "c:\MyProjDir" grant Everyone:(OI)(CI)F /T

It works, and I am then able to compile my code with no errors. The problem is that I have to run this icalcs command every time I build my code, otherwise I get the access to path error message again. So how can I get around having to repeatedly run the icacls command in order to compile my code?

How do I call an instance of this class using C# in Visual Studio 2017? At the moment I have a console App. In the static main method I have this code, but can't invoke the Inventory class due to its protection level.

Problem with visual 6 C++ code converting to visual studio 2010 c++. The following is the only code that errors out. The rest of the lib converts and compiles fine if I remark out this one line of code.

WCHAR *printable = new WCHAR[(dwBufferSize+1)*2]; printable[0] = '\0'; for (unsigned long i =0;i<dwBufferSize;i++) { WCHAR scratch[3]; wsprintf(scratch,L"%02X", pBuffer[i]); //This is the problem code. wsprintf requires LPSTR but scratch is WCHAR wcscat(printable, scratch); } *pbstrEncrypted = SysAllocStringLen(printable, dwBufferSize*2);I've looked for code on the internet to convert a variable from WCHAR to LPSTR and back again. I could make do with that. As near as I can see the wsprintf with the format code %02X takes a single wide char and makes it two hex output characters and concatenates it to the printable variable. This code was written in 2000.Bob delete [] printable;

I have an ASP.net web app which I have built in Visual Studio 2017 Professional. I just bought a new computer
and loaded the software on there. For some reason Visual Studio runs really slowly, especially in debug mode.
What might be causing this?
